One 'No' closer to my yes. 🙂
I know my yes is coming! I needed to get some new carpet and so went into a carpet shop to place an order. After choosing my carpet I then asked a few questions but they said their model is not to bother people and that he had a 90% close rate. So another no, but hey, I know I'm closer to my yes.

As an old salesperson, I hope you do not mind my 2 cents here .... first, congratulations on asking, that's the first step! When someone says they have a 90% close rate .... a great response from you might be, WOW, that is amazing, you must be a great salesperson, then say .... so if I could send you an additional 5-10 new prospects, do you think you could close them? .... if he says yes, then you say, great ... if I can I show you how I can do that for you, would you be interested? If he says yes .. you pitch, qualify and demo! If he says no, then you reply .... so then you wouldn't mind if I speak with your competitor? or You ask, so how long have you been in business? ... whatever he replies, you say Great, then say so do you keep in touch with your customers who bought from you 5-10 years ago? If he says yes, you ask how he does that. If he fumbles, you could say .... if you are not, your competitor probably is so are you worried they may buy from them next time instead of coming back to you? Just some suggestions but the reality is that at some point, you can accept No as No!

@Benjamin Squibb .... I have never done a DR but frankly, I have done many email campaigns with offers but that was before GHL and my Bulk SMS experience is with short-codes, not long codes and that was long before all the compliance issues became an issue. Frankly, I am not sure what makes a DR different from any offer sent to a customer. It may just be a "naming" thing like calling the dental waiting room the reception area ... basically, semantics but I am not the expert on this topic. I started my marketing business approx. 13 years ago and it's been an up & down ride but to your question, I have not been leading with a DR. My model is more "software" and I am partnered with an old employer who's been selling software since 1981 (I started selling software in 1985). That said, I am here to learn more about executing a DR as a standard offer so I will defer to the experts who have more experience in dealing with the potential issues to get a better result.
What if you can not use SMS for a DR?
I'm curious as to those of you who have done a DR via email only? What sort of results did you get? In my case, my customer's are businesses who serve other businesses and therefore there are not a lot of personal cell numbers to use SMS.

@Ron Gibson .... yes, we do sell the sizzle but the reality is that a DR is a results oriented process and since SMS has a 90%+ open rate and a cold email may get 1%-2% open rate, the results will likely be widely different. This is important to understand, especially if you are trying to sell a DR at a higher price than say a basic email campaign offer. I have been selling about 40 years and while the concept of a DR is very simple, it's all about execution and if you charged a high fee, it's about results. Even if I had cell numbers, I would be very concerned about sending 1k-3k text messages to a cold list and getting complaints or blacklisted. Don't misunderstand, I am not the expert in this specific topic but as an agency owner for over 13 years and a salesman for 40 years, I have only used SMS short-codes for bulk SMS and that was long before all this compliance stuff became an issue.
Local Lead Sniper Results 42% Response rate.
Hey all, I watched a GHL highlights video last week on Local Lead Sniper, I set it up last week by connecting it to Twiilio, Scaping Dog and Google Cloud API. In a nutshell, the service allows you to search Google Maps for businesses (St. Louis roofers for example), it scrapes their phone number, checks to see if it's a textable mobile number and if so it provides templates to message them. Jeff Hershey, the owner of Local Lead Sniper advocates to offer a "free service" where you can assist the business owner to enable the CHAT function or QUOTE function on their Google listing as a way to get your foot in the door. So far, I have sent 68 texts with 29 responses to my (Is this the number for XYZ business) message. None of the businesses have took me up on my offer to help them with them Google Business Listing. I did start testing a new offer that is getting better results. (1 appt booked and a few inbound calls to the number I used to sed the texts) The offer is to put their business on TV. A friend of mine does 28 minute business interviews here in St. Louis at his home studio and then airs them on late night local TV. The business owner gets a full video and clips with the ABC logo that they can use which they love for credibility's sake. I'm going to keep playing with the offer. Does anyone have an idea of a better offer I can use to get my foot in the door to sell DR campaigns or similar? The response rate is good I just need a way to get them on the hook.

@Ron Gibson .... yes, this is a group focused on DR's ..... but I would be careful to just assume "anything" is a slam dunk. There are many factors such as ..... 1) Does your customer have a database? 2) Does their database have cell#'s in addition to email addresses? (since SMS will be much more effective than email) 3) Does your customer sell a product or service that can be paid for online or only in person? My old niche was retail, mainly restaurants and frankly, they are easy to market. We simply put out offers (which is what a DR is) and I took a customer who is still with me after 6 years from start-up to over $3 mil in annual sales. (unfortunately, my fees started at $1,400/mo and over time are now $300/mo). If you are shaking your head wondering why I no longer serve that niche, may reasons but mainly because the nature of some retail business makes them very hard to deal with since they work "in" their businesses and not necessarily work "on" the business. The average local restaurant "maybe" hits 1 million in annual revenue. In my current niche, my average customer starts at 10 million. The short answer is, bigger fish!! All that said, if you want to implement DR's, you are in the right place. 👍 and BTW, my Dog (Chow Chow) is named, "Bear" .. lol

@Ron Gibson lol
Group question, who is your customer ... B2B to B2B ... or ... B2B to B2C?
I know we are all selling to a businesses, but the businesses you sell to can fall into 2 categories so ... How many of you service businesses who serve other businesses vs businesses who serve consumers?

@Dean Rackley .... I had a few dentists as customers back in my early agency days. My brother also just happens to be a dentist but that's a different story, lol. The challenge I found is that dentists tend to work IN their businesses and not as much ON their businesses making it very hard to talk or plan. In my case, I really do not want to be in the agency business so my path is integration with an existing tech stack but the reality is there is no short cut and we all have our dues to pay!
